He enjoys getting the students the skills they need to go to work in the field and encourages each one to get their degree. The Construction Technology program has tackled several projects in the past years. In 2012, students built the Multi-Purpose facility for CCC. This building gave students experience on a new construction project from beginning to end. Students have also aided Habitat for Humanity, remodeled the CCC board office, built the Polar Express parade float and built several items for the CCC Foundation Scholarship Benefit. In 2014, students are working to assist local business Kansas Lumber in the building of their new facility.
